Newbie post:
My wife and I found a 9-inch shell Spur Tighed Tortoise yesterday while driving through an old Soviet era oilfield in Northern Azerbaijan.
It is very oily indeed, and has probably walked beneath a leaking oil well or dripping nodding donkey because it has lots of crude oil on its shell but (luckily I guess) relatively little on its legs head or underside.
So I brought it home to try to clean it up. The question is how? I was going to use an old tooth brush and some dishwashing liquid. Do you guys (the experts!) have any tips or ideas?
Cheers
